Anne Arundel County has been judged to have the best plan in the state for managing growth and development, and county officials will be honored during an awards ceremony late this month.

The Maryland Chapter of the American Planning Association announced Friday that Anne Arundel won a statewide competition of comprehensive land-use plans. The awards ceremony will be held at Benjamin Banneker Historical Park in Catonsville on Oct. 28.

Anne Arundel's plan includes 120 recommendations on how to manage growth, conserve the environment and meet residents' educational and recreational needs.
